14 mills in the gauge, the least rain for many months. The daffodils have started to die back although many of the later flowering types were still blooming. Tulips are now coming into their own. There are so many different varieties of daffodils. Unfortunately I've forgotten names.
I planted a few pink and white daisies to replace those which had succumbed to the frost over winter, plus 2 punnets of snapdragons and 10 gladioli bulbs.
Cutting back of the penstemons and salvias, (Hot Lips and Pineapple Sage) continued.
The wattles are now at heir best. Two small Ovens Wattles are in bloom at the edge of the dam. They were self sown.
This was the time for burning off in the paddock. The gorse sprayed last year was ready to be burnt without the fire a problem. There still remains plenty of work for a pyromaniac . Hopefully the weather in October will be ideal to continue the burnoff.
